17 October 2005 (UK) See more » Filming Locations: (United States) – See all my reviews History The band formed when Jake Black met Rob Spragg at an acid house party in Peckham and they decided that a fusion of country music with acid house was a musical possibility. Other members of the band were accumulated over a lengthy period, but it is known that Rob Spragg was at university with Piers Marsh, the harmonica player and programmer for the band whilst Orlando Harrison, the group's current keyboardist, used to live with Jake Black. Prior to the formation of the Alabama 3 Jake had gone through his "wilderness years" period of which there is little or no recorded output. This creative gulch lasted years following the demise of The Jangletties. Starting their act under the alias "The First Presleyterian Church Of Elvis The Divine (UK)" they eventually switched names to Alabama 3 and, after having been dismissed by the mainstream media as a novelty act, the group finally signed to One Little Indian records in 1997 for the release of their debut album Exile on Coldharbour Lane.

In August 2007, they toured under the name of "Alabama 3: Acoustic and Unplugged" with Devlin Love to promote their new album, M.O.R. (released September 10, 2007. Bassist John "Segs" Jennings has apparently left the band, saying he is "busy elsewhere and (he doesn't) have the time." The latest album M.O.R includes a cover of Jerry Reed's 1970s hit "Amos Moses" and features The Proclaimers on the track "Sweet Joy" plus piano parts on the country stomp version of the Gil Scott Heron song The Clan by Brian Jackson. In September and October 2007, the band toured the UK in support of M.O.R. with Irish band Republic Of Loose supporting. On Friday 29th February 2008 members of the band encored with Carbon/Silicon at the seventh and final Carbon Casino gig at The Inn On The Green, under the Westway. Mick Jones joined them on stage to add guitar and backing vocals to a version of "Woke Up This Morning".

Their songs have sampled Jim Jones in "Mao Tse Tung Said" and Birmingham Six survivor Patrick Hill in "The Thrills Have Gone." Trouser Press reviewer Jason Reeher wrote that A3's "debut is brilliant and (shambolic)...owing huge debts to both Hank Williams and Happy Mondays." Alabama 3's music in TV and film Alabama 3's song "Woke Up This Morning" from Exile on Coldharbour Lane plays during the opening credits of the HBO television series The Sopranos. A snippet of "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlife" can be heard at the beginning of the first episode of the third season of The Sopranos as Tony Soprano walks down the drive way to get his morning newspaper. "Mansion on the Hill" featured on the Kurt Russell/Kevin Costner film 3000 Miles to Graceland. "Too Sick to Pray", from La Peste, plays on the radio at one point in the film Gone in 60 Seconds and "Peace in the Valley" in A Life Less Ordinary.

A shortened alternate version of "Woke Up This Morning" can be heard for nearly 50 seconds in The Simpsons episode "Papa's Got a Brand New Badge", while Fat Tony and his gang are on the ride to the Simpsons' house. The sequence is a parody of the opening sequence of The Sopranos. "Woke Up This Morning" is also in the later Simpsons episode "The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer". "Sister Rosetta" from Exile on Coldharbour Lane can be heard in the film Barnyard. Rapper Nas sampled "Woke Up This Morning" for his 2001 hit, "Got Ur Self A...." Woke Up This Morning was also used in an episode of BBC series Top Gear, in which the team were driving through Alabama itself. Alabama 3's song "Mao Tse Tung Said" from Exile on Coldharbour Lane was used in the first episode of the second season of Torchwood.

The song "Ain't Going' to Goa" from Exile on Coldharbour Lane is featured in the motion picture Definitely, Maybe On the Region 4 DVD release of the Sopranos' first season, the case incorrectly cites the "Woke Up This Morning" music video included in the Special Features as being performed by "Alabama 5".

Yes Great Train Robber Bruce Reynolds dies aged 81 | UK news | The Guardian Great Train Robber Bruce Reynolds dies aged 81 'Career criminal' and mastermind of 1963 robbery dies just months before 50th anniversary of famous heist Great Train Robbery mastermind Bruce Reynolds outside court in 1968, five years after the robbery.

Photograph: Paul Popper/Popperfoto Thursday 28 February 2013 06.57 EST First published on Thursday 28 February 2013 06.57 EST Close This article is 3 years old Bruce Reynolds, the mastermind of the 1963 Great Train Robbery, has died aged 81, just months before the 50th anniversary of Britain's most spectacular heist. Reynolds, who had been in poor health for some months, was also the author of one of the most honest and literate of criminal memoirs, The Autobiography of a Thief. The death was announced by Reynolds's son, Nick, a musician with the band, Alabama 3, with whom his father had occasionally performed. Reynolds himself had been philosophical about his illness. Asked how he was feeling earlier this month, he replied: "Well, the axeman cometh." "It really is the end of an era," said Leonard "Nipper" Read, the Scotland Yard detective who successfully pursued the robbers. "It was certainly a well-organised operation and Reynolds was the pioneer.

It is a little piece of history." In August 1963, a group of professional criminals from London carried out the elaborate robbery of the Glasgow to Euston mail train in Buckinghamshire, making off with £2.6m (worth around £33m in today's money). Most, but not all, of the robbers were later caught and sentenced to what were then record sentences of 30 years. Reynolds initially fled the country and hid out under an assumed name in Mexico and Canada with his wife and young son. But he was caught upon his return to Britain in 1968. Tommy Butler, the detective who arrested him in Torquay, greeted him with the words: "Hello, Bruce, it's been a long time." To which Reynolds replied: "C'est la vie." 1968 Guardian report on Reynolds' arrest. Click on the image to read the full article Reynolds was jailed for 25 years, a sentence that even the late Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Robert Mark, thought was excessive.

In fact, one of the reasons the robbery became so well known was the length of sentences doled out by Mr Justice Edmund Davies, who said it was "a crime which in its impudence and enormity is the first of its kind in this country. I propose to do all in my power to ensure that it is the last of its kind … Let us clear out of the way any romantic notions of daredevilry". In 1995, Reynolds wrote his memoirs which recounted, without sentimentality or self-pity, how he had embarked on a life of crime after initially seeking a job as a journalist but ended up working in the accounts department of the Daily Mail. He chose the title as a homage to one of his favourite writers, Jean Genet, author of The Thief's Journal. Various television documentaries are now being lined up for the anniversary, with Reynolds approached by many seeking to capitalise on the event.

Many of the robbers have already died: Charlie Wilson was shot dead in the Spain in 1990; Buster Edwards killed himself in 1994; Roy James died in 1997; Jimmy Hussey died last year after supposedly making a deathbed confession that he was the gang member who coshed the train driver, Jack Mills, who died of leukaemia seven years later. Ronnie Biggs remains in very poor health following a series of strokes. On the final page of his updated memoir, Crossing the Line, Reynolds remarks of Biggs: "When I see his frail frame, I see my own mortality. C'est la vie!" There have been countless books on the robbery, of which Reynolds's remains the most lucid. It was also the subject of three films including Buster, in which Phil Collins played the eponymous role, with the part of Reynolds played by Larry Lamb. Various approaches had been made to Reynolds about making a film based on his autobiography.

The jazz-loving Reynolds, who lived out his last years modestly in Croydon, south London, wrote an article for the Guardian in 2008 about the £53m Securitas robbery of two years earlier , in which he quoted from David Mamet, William Burroughs and Chet Baker. He referred to the lines of Mamet's screenplay for the film, Heist: "Anybody can get the goods, the hard part's getting away." And he referred to Nipper Read's reflection that, perhaps, the Great Train Robbers would have carried out the robbery even if they had known that they were going to get caught. Reynolds remained an avid reader throughout his life with JG Ballard, Norman Mailer and Scott Fitzgerald among his favourite authors. He also found himself on the road with Alabama 3, the band that produced the Sopranos theme tune, Woke Up This Morning. He performed with the band on the song Have You Seen Bruce Richard Reynolds?

In his memoirs, Reynolds recalls how, just before the Great Train Robbery took place, he had smoked a Montecristo No 2 cigar: "The thought ran through my mind: I have brought Cuba to Buckinghamshire." Now the anniversary will take place without the man who once said he had planned the robbery as his "line in the sand".

Published: 8 Aug 2003 The 40 Best TV Theme Songs of All Time :: TV :: Lists :: Page 1 :: Paste The 40 Best TV Theme Songs of All Time By Josh Jackson | November 17, 2008 | 4:25am Share Tweet Submit Pin It’s fashionable to lament the state of the TV theme song.

Gone are the days when a show’s whole premise was summed up in musical verse before every episode. Now we have Lost and it’s single chord. And though I actually like Lost’s simple spooky chime and have recently highlighted the 12 Best TV Theme Songs From Current Shows , there’s no denying we’re past the golden age of the TV show theme song. Take a look at the following list, and let me know where I’m wrong. I’ve included music without words, but I skipped over shows that used already popularized tunes like “The William Tell Overture” from The Lone Ranger and “Stand” from Get a Life. 40. The Rockford Files – Mike Post and Peter Carpeneter You might not know the names of Post and Carpenter, but between them they composed theme music for a mind-boggling number of shows including CHiPs, Magnum P.I., The A-Team, Hunter, Hill Street Blues, The Greatest American Hero, Doogie Howser M.D., Quantum Leap and Remington Steele. If you’re in your 30s, you can claim all you want that Prince provided the soundtrack to your childhood—but it was really Mike Post. 39.

Sesame Street – Joe Raposo, Jon Stone and Bruce Hart I’m still reeling a little from discovering just how bad this classic has been butchered in recent seasons (and I was just starting to heal from the fact that everyone can see Snuffleupagus now). But we’re going back to the beginning, when the air was actually clean. Here’s a 1986 version sung by Gladys Knight & The Pips: 38. WKRP in Cincinnati – Tom Wells and Hugh Wilson For the most part, it’s a standard late-’70s theme song, but then it closes with the magical “WKRP in Cincinnaaaaaati.” 37. The Love Boat – Paul Williams and Charles Fox It’s a cruise ship so the theme music is supposed to sound like it’s sung by a guy on the ledo deck who dreams of becoming the next Robert Goulet. 36. The Courtship of Eddie’s Father – “Best Friend” by Harry Nilsson The early 1970s saw a string of shows dealing with single parenthood, but only one of them had a theme song by Harry Nilsson. 35.

The Sopranos – “Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)” by Alabama 3 Sometimes there’s no need to write new theme music when you can just use a great existing piece of music that fits perfectly. For The Sopranos, that’s “Woke Up This Morning,” which is about an abused wife who decides to shoot her husband of 20 years. 34. The Dukes of Hazzard – Waylon Jennings The Dukes of Hazzard earned its Southern cred by filming the first few episodes in Georgia and recruiting Waylon Jennings to write and sing the theme song. Someone has recreated the opening credits in Grand Theft Auto style. 33. What’s Happening!! – Henry Mancini Who knew that the same composer responsible for Peter Gunn also wrote the music to accompany Rerun dribbling a basketball? 32. The X-Files – Mark Snow Just a touch of horror-movie tension in its theme music gave a show about the paranormal it’s paranoid aura. The instrumental composition hit #1 on the singles chart in France, which—as much as I love it for a TV intro—has me scratching my head. 31.

The Brady Bunch – Sherwood Schwarz Schwarz created both The Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Isle and wrote the theme songs for both with the since-abandoned belief that a theme song should clearly communicate the show’s premise. Previous "The Sopranos" (1999) - FAQ The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff. Visit our FAQ Help to learn more FAQ Nobody knows what happened to Valery in The Sopranos: Pine Barrens (#3.11) . He is never heard from again. Many people believe that he is dead. Being in pajamas with a bullet wound to the head in the freezing cold wouldn't have a favourable outcome for anyone, even a hardcore military expert as the Russian apparently was. He could have covered enough ground to get away from Paulie and Chris from finding him and known how to cover his tracks and lose them. Then again, given that Paulie's car disappeared, so it is possible that the Russian took it and drove himself to safety. However Valery is mentioned at least twice again in passing. None of Tonys crew have any answers as to where he could have got to.

It seems safe to assume that as there is no reprisal that he must have died, or at the very least never got involved with gangster life again. -- There are subtle clues in the direction of the episode that may indicate Valery's final whereabouts: The opening shot in the woods sequence is a panning shot looking up at trees as the snow falls. This is then revealed to be Valery's POV as he is being marched to his burial spot by Paulie and Christopher, indicating he is examining the trees for some purpose. Then, after Valery is shot, Paulie and Christopher run to the spot where they believe they will find him. At one point the camera films from high above in the trees, looking down on them. This shot may be a second POV shot from Valery's perspective, indicating he climbed into a tree immediately after being shot and watched them below. Because he is never heard from again, it is safe to assume Valery either died in the tree or shortly thereafter and never made it out of the woods to notify Slava of his ordeal. Will there be a Sopranos movie? David Chase has said that he wanted to make a film. But he cannot find a way to properly do the series justice.

So until/unless he finds a way; the answer is no. With many of the major characters not surviving the final season and the recent untimely death of James Gandolfini, it can be assumed a film will never happen now. How are Tony and Christopher related? Christopher's father, Dickie Moltisanti was a soldier in Johnny Soprano's crew and was very close to Tony Soprano. Tony reminisces that Dickie was like a big brother to him and so, when Dickie died while Chris was still young, Tony looked out for Chris, affectionately referring to him as his nephew. However, Tony is, technically, not Christopher's uncle. Tony and Carmela Soprano are connected to Chris via three separate family relationships: Christopher's late father, Dickie Moltisanti, was Carmela's first cousin, as Dickie's mother and Carmela's father are siblings. This means Chris is Carmela's first cousin, once removed. Christopher's mother Joanne, whose maiden name is Blundetto, is Al Blundetto's sister. Al Blundetto's wife, Quintina, is Livia Soprano's sister and Tony Soprano's maternal aunt.

Thus, Al and Quintina Blundetto, who are Tony Blundetto's parents, are uncle and aunt to both Tony Soprano and Chris. Accordingly, Tony Soprano and Chris are both first cousins to Tony Blundetto, but not to each other. Adriana told her FBI handler Robyn Sanseverino. that technically Christopher and Tony are cousins. Christopher's mother Joanne Blundetto is Tony's maternal cousin via a distant blood relation when the family was still in Italy. Tony confirmed this when he named Christopher his successor and said Christopher would bring the family into the 21st century saying Paulie and Silvio "aren't my blood". When does Tony officially become Boss? Tony never officially becomes the boss of the Soprano-DiMeo family. Ercole "Eckley" DiMeo is the official titled boss of the family, but he is elderly and serving a lifetime sentence in a federal prison, and exerts no influence over the family. DiMeo is never seen onscreen throughout the series, but he is mentioned a handful of times. In the very first episode, Jackie Aprile, Sr.

has had the title of Acting Boss for several years, and this title is recognized by New York. However, several characters mention that Tony has actually been managing the day-to-day affairs of the family because Jackie is dying of cancer. After Jackie dies, Uncle Junior receives the official title of acting boss (after Tony gets the other capos to agree to position Junior to take the hits from the feds while Tony secretly calls the shots). At this point, Tony is still technically only a capo. When Junior finds out about Tony's betrayal, it sparks a mob war, which Junior definitively loses. As part of the peace settlement, Junior is allowed to keep his title, while Tony takes on the unofficial (but openly acknowledged) title of street boss. There is no indication that this arrangement changes throughout the series run; even after Junior shoots Tony and is confined to a psychiatric ward, no reference is made to Junior being stripped of his title, and Tony is never mentioned to have been officially promoted. In the season one finale it is said that Tony will be the new boss. Also in the season 2 opener it is said that he is already boss. There however is no official meeting, it is just outright stated.

Also in episode 3 of season 2, Junior is told that he gets to "Keep his Stripes" but that Tony is the boss. What happens to Tony in the last scene of the series? This question has been debated in great length, but there is no clear answer. However, Chase has been quoted as saying everything we need to understand the ending is in the episode itself. He has stated that we are too spoon-fed as an audience, as in tell them what they're going to see, show it to them, then tell them what they've just seen. Chase felt upset that fans seemed to want a bloody death for Tony after cheering him on for 8 years. There are several clues in The Sopranos: Made in America (#6.21) indicating that Tony Soprano was killed: * The previous episode contains a flashback to a scene from The Sopranos: Soprano Home Movies (#6.13) in which Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri and Tony Soprano discuss what it's like being killed, saying "in our line of work, it's always out there. You probably don't even hear it when it happens".

While the flashback may or may not be referring to this scene, the cut to black and complete silence would be exactly what Bobby described. *Chase sets up a pattern of point of view shots where we see a shot of Tony, then his point of view of someone walking into the restaurant when the bell on the door rings, and then the reaction shot. Following this pattern, we hear the bell ring as Meadow opens the door, we get the shot of Tony, then right when we should see Meadow walking in from Tony's point of view, we get black nothingness. * The screen abruptly cuts to black and all sound mutes as opposed to the fade in most other episodes that keeps the soundtrack running (which goes hand in hand with the above-mentioned discussion). * The person staring at Tony Soprano and walking to the bathroom is significant enough to be credited, with a special mention to his "Member's Only" jacket. "Member's Only" is the episode in which Tony got shot, and is a reference to being in the mob, as well as to the character in "Member's Only" who kills himself when Tony won't let him move his family to Florida.

The "Member's Only" man simply can be seen to represent everyone Tony has wronged throughout his life. He is also the only patron we see walking into the diner before we get Tony's point of view of him walking into the diner followed by AJ. * A hitman walking into a bathroom to retrieve his weapon reminds of a famous scene from The Godfather. * It's the only time in the series Tony is seen peeling an orange, an obvious reference to the Godfather movies where oranges are closely associated with an approaching death or being shot. * The scene has been edited in a way that builds up tension, which naturally leads the audience on to believe something momentous is going to happen (which may or may not be the case). * Many of the patrons in the diner represent an event from previous episodes that involved killing someone. * Tony Soprano often spoke of in Soprano Home Movies, All Debts Public and Private, and The Happy Wanderer, that there are only two ways out for a boss. Dead or in Jail. We saw Johnny Sack, another boss, go the route going to jail. We also saw Little Carmine step away from the title of Boss to enjoy and live his life.

So it would make sense that we see Tony take the other path, death. However, there are also several things hinting that [spoiler]nothing happened to Tony Soprano : * We never actually see anything happen other than suggestive editing - we don't even see a gun. Or to put it more simply, we do not see Tony Soprano die, therefore when the show ended, Tony Soprano was still alive. * The lyrics of the infamous Journey song indicate that life goes on despite all the trouble. * The jacket of the Member's Only guy doesn't have a logo on it. Maybe that means that he - like the jacket - is an imitation, not the real thing. * There was no reason for to be killed - the hit on Phil had been sanctioned by the Lupertazzi Family. (even so this is discussable because there where many variables in the way the hit went down. Phil was killed in front of his family and other witnesses and his head got crushed by his own SUV.

This method of killing may have angered the Lupertazzi Family prompting a possible violent retaliation.) The general consensus that most people can agree with is that the last scene shows the audience how is feeling every day: In an everyday situation like eating dinner, everybody around him could be out to kill him. He is constantly living in paranoia and the fear that anybody who looks at him or brushes past him could be a killer. Whenever anybody enters the diner, Tony Soprano looks up to glances up to see if that person is a threat. The last season has had an emphasis on the downside of the mob life - Johnny Sack dying in prison with no money, leaving his widow penniless, people even in high ranks getting killed, Tony Soprano killing his own nephew in a despicable way. The final scene shows the sad life of those who survive - living in constant fear, facing death or prison. However, this does not hold up well under scrutiny because when looking at the final scene we only see shots of most of the patrons in the diner from a third person perspective. It is only when the bell rings on the door that we get Tony's point of view of someone entering the diner.

When we see the other patrons in the diner, it is only through third person and Tony is actually looking down at his menu for most of these shots. This explains the ending in that right when we should get Tony's point of view of Meadow walking into the diner we see black nothingness and the music cuts out. Apparently Chase actually wanted the black nothingness to be it and not even have credits, but HBO forced him to include credits. What are the fates of the characters?

New Jersey Crew Paulie 'Walnuts' Gaultieri: Pretty much the only character who survives from the first season to the last season unscathed. He survives, and takes over Vito's crew. (Paulie was reluctant to accept this position because everyone who is running this crew winds up dead or missing.There is a cat that sat inside and stared at a picture of the recently deceased Christopher. This gave Paulie the creeps as he is very superstitious and paranoid about ghosts and the like. When he accepts the position in Vito's crew, the cat is seen to appear beside him and stare at him. This is either a foreshadowing of his doom or meant to be funny as he was so reluctant to accept the position and would continue to be freaked out by a cat.) Silvio Dante: Shot in the back and in the shoulder which puts him in a coma. The doctors say he is unlikely to regain consciousness. Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri: Marries Janice, becomes Tony's captain.

Woke up this morning, got yourself a gun Your mama always said you'd be the chosen one She said yeah, one in a million you got gun shine. But you were born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eye And you woke up this morning, and all that love had gone. Your papa never told you about right and wrong. But you lookin' good baby I believe that you're feelin' fine, shame about it. Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eye so sing it now Woke up this morning. Got a blue moon in your eye Woke up this morning the world turned upside down, lord but things ain't been the same since the blues walked into town. But you one in a million 'cause you got that shot gun shine, shame about it. Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes Woke up this morning.

Got yourself a gun. Got yourself a gun. Got yourself a gun.
